A Florida vegan mother accused of neglect after feeding her son soy baby formula was given back custody of the boy on Wednesday. The judge presiding over the case dismissed the claims that the Florida woman was an unfit mother after she met with a nutritionist, as the court mandated.

Sarah Markham’s boy, Caleb, was taken away from her when, at 12 days, he began losing weight and his mother refused to take him to the hospital. Markham was arrested in June and is now facing criminal child neglect charges.
